We were reading in some old papers of some 'fifty odd years ago that con- ditions in this part of the cOuntry. and even the iweather,.were very sim- ilar to those we are experiencing to • day., Farm prices at the lowest ebb; the ivay'of many of the pioneer farmers was'ilark indeed; business in the towns end villages was • dead. De- pression deeii-and black brooded over the land: No one. cou.ld see a light. Those tin:es, no. doubt; still linger in the memory of someUr of opioneer residents, but they passed of- eourse, and a new and greater prosperity fol- lowed the dark days. „ These , days of depression and anxiety Which we, of,this day, are ex- periencing, will Pass too if we have faith and patience and are willing to profit by the lessons taughtnee by our grandfathers, and perhaps more particularly, by our grandmothers. But at what Ggat? HOW much more money will have to.. ,,,,,,,,,,, be- fore we are on our feet again, than it took to bring good times and pros- perity in thosedays of fifty odd years ago? Muchmore we would say. But how much more? Would. a hundred dol- lars in cash go further towards put- ting a whole Concession or street on • its feet again, fifty odd , years ago,- than a thousand dollars would -go to- day? differeritebe"taren greet- er than that? What were consider- ed great luxuries in pioneer days bane ineceme absolute necessities to- day. Home is not the self Contained place it piece was. We. „lite 'faster and ,keep farther away from. it and it costs money to travel, or credit. Money never was plentiful in pioneer days. Neither was credit - When a pioneer had not the where- Withall to purchase necessities, not to mention luxuries, hensually did with- out and likewise his family. Do we, and do ours? 7'. Tallow candles didn't. gest as much ad electric light -does; oxen, horses, wagons and buggie:s didn't cost as ranch as an automobile does, Rural mail, the telephone, the radio, good roads, paved rads, higher, ethie eation, advanced legislation didn't cost the pioneer, whether of 'country or town, anything, because he didn't have them. But we do, andthey cost us plenty. They are necessities to, us, and as -such, will continue to cost us plenty, not to mention others which we add -to the list year by year. All of which would lead one to the 'conclusion that it will take a lot more money to lighten the present depres- eion than it did to, bring about good times some fifty odd years ago. • a very expensive place to here in, eve , en .for a careful man. The other reason is ihat agricul- ture is in such a deplontble condition that farmer metribere die figuring en taking, the place of a hired man thia year.

Figuring on the length of a session is in aJbout the same class as figuring on the result Of an election or a horee race, two of the most un- certain things in life.

There are several reasons which would lead one to this supposition. The primary reason, of course, is the" - meeting of the Imperial Conference iti Ottavve: in July. The decks will have to be gleared some time before the, date, set for the Conferenee, so that the Government will be able to a'rrange and complete its programme. A second reason is that the speech -from the throne, which is the official , programme of the business of the session, was a particularly barren one this year. There are reasons to believe too, that the GOvernment is not ready with its legislative prOgrannne or, indeed, !with the business -of the ses- sion. One might be forgiven this '.conclusion from the fact that when the debate on the epee& from the throne suddenly, tIollapsed after the *olden, the teeder. of the OPPosi- , tioi, the Vtogreedive LeAdet and One or two others had spoken, the Gov- -erninerit. was dihribfothided.
